Russian Peasants migrating to SIBERIA.

The tide of emigration Of the Russian
peasantry into Siberia is largely OIL the in
crease. There is no official registration of
the numbers; but in 1885 there passed
through Syzrani alone 7,500, coming from
the central provinces. Others in large
numbers proceed by sea TO the AMOR in
the far east The disturbance of popula-
ton is not limited to movement beyond
the European frontiers, but prevails nc
lively within it.
One hundred thousand colonists have
lately migrated to the banks of the Kie-
ban, and the Rural bank is assisting many
other thousands to establish themselves
in New Russia. With the exception Of
the last there is little or no organization
in any OF these movements; the people
simply seem impelled by impotence of
their present lot and a blind desire of
change, and they go forth not KNOW eg
whittier they 90. Many of them return
to their original settlements after longer
or shorter absence, more destitute than
they went forth, but far the larger ntlm-
Der are never heard of more. They are
lost in the yastaesS of the Solitudes into
which they plunge.
There is no government organization
whatever in many of the places they go
to; no information is available before they
start as TO the best routes, the capabilities
of soil or the conditions Oh ,clxnate and
season. II tney succeed ii, is only after
enduring unheard Of. hardsnips, which
1night have been spared them ii there ex-
listed depart ment charged with the reg
ulation of this great national migration.
The instances Of failure are, 1t is to be
feared, the rule, and when the disaster
happens beyond hereach Of railways and
steamers the world, even of Russia, never
hears Of them. The state itself is begin
ming to suffer directly in its finances from
this disorganized shifting of population,
rs many Of the emigrants leave arrears OF
taxes behind them. 80 London Times.

"a ing and lively style, showed the

child. In our present school system,
children before entering the schools
nave had five or six years of life, and
turing that time have learned things to
their advantage or disadvantage &C
cording to the kind Of parents and as
sociates they have. Why should not
the public school provide a training
for the little children as well as for the

Al very interesting manner, some of

briefly some OF their uses.
At the conclusion Of the lecture,
